Ice Cream Machine

Introduction

In this game, you play as Adee the Chia. Your goal is to stay alive as long as possible, score the most points, and avoid the deadly ice cream scoops being shot at you!

Instructions & Controls

Use the mouse to guide Adee the Chia around the levels. Collecting power-ups and avoiding scoops of ice cream as you go.

Tips & Strategy

Collecting special ice cream scoops with power-ups are essential. Valuable power-ups include the pink heart, grey shield, red minus sign and small purple Chia. Avoid the scoops with the large blue Chia and green plus sign at all cost! Picking up the Fish Ice Cream and Yellow Cherry Ice Cream will add bonus points to your score. Running into the Strawberry Bomb is recommended when too many scoops are on the board. Only grab a bonus scoop if it's safe to do so. Be cautious with your lives and don't waste them!

Majority of this game relies on luck and timing. Do your best to dodge the scoops and collect power-ups. A helpful tip to avoid the scoops is to consider the level as a maze you need to guide Adee through.

Remaining along one side of the board can be helpful. Stay alive by moving from that spot as needed. When it's safe, return to that spot again. For this strategy, you can use the left or right sides of the board. Others find it helpful to stay near the top middle of the screen. This allows for a bit more room to avoid ice cream scoops. Having more room to manoeuvre Adee in later levels is crucial to survival.

The levels become increasingly harder, so this technique may not work in the later levels but is very useful. Make sure not to right-click while playing the game, or it will end.

Power-Ups

Various special scoops are available during gameplay. Depending on the order they were gathered, they will either stack or cancel each other out. Be mindful when gathering and stacking power-ups!

Cheats

Typing strawberryvanillachocolate in the game, will give you 1 extra life. This is best typed between levels on the splat screen.

Extra Stuff

Ice Cream Machine is another one of the games made by Neopets staff member Oliver, The Phantom Orange Shirt Guy. Like many of his other games, he has hidden an image of himself for players to find. After clicking to start the game, wait about 30 seconds until he appears, like in the screenshot below.

There are rumours that waiting for TPOSG to appear will increase your chances of receiving better scoops. However, this is still unconfirmed.

Conclusion

Practice, patience and a little bit of luck will have you reaching those high scores in no time. Good luck dodging those yummy, yet deadly ice cream scoops!
